I liked Jeff's response to the idea of a move to central Dallas
People forget FW will be bigger than Dallas one day.

not a maybe
Dallas cannot grow any further in size. You’re right about suburbs.
Coming from Fort Worth – i’m prideful about Cowtown. So, when people say they’re taking a trip to Dallas and are actually in Fort Worth, or get pissed b/c RBiA is fairly central in DFW, i get hacked.

Dallas may not grow further in size
but it’s hardly built out at present. Dallas has about 500,000 more people than Fort Worth homer. It may someday have more people than Dallas, but that day is a long way off if it ever comes.

Prideful about Cowtown?

Prideful about Dallas?
Even more ridiculous. I’m not even sure Dallas is the third best city in Texas.

Huh?
How am I prideful about Dallas?

Resign Padilla?
I’m all for it, so long as we put him in the rotation with Sidney Ponson and fire Mike Maddux to replace him with Kenny Rodgers. He’s always been good here right; let’s make him our pitching coach!

Byrd
I wouldn’t give him $15 million for three years. It’s just not a good use of resources.

Nope. Epescially not when your manager doesn't optimize his usage, either.
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

I would miss Byrd if we couldnt' resign him
but I wouldn’t mind seeing some more Borbon and possibly a glimpse of Beltre (or is next season too soon?)

Dear sweet lord baby jesus
I hope so, if Rudy is still here. Kid would K while he was still on-deck.

Yeah, maybe the 'glimpse of Beltre'
isn’t such a good idea…I just like to see our prospects.

You need to quit linking this clowns' mailbag.
Somebody might take him seriously.

most all the questions that he answers
break down to the same concept:the Rangers don’t have any money. Hope this team gets bought in the offseason so he can answer a little differently next year.
It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.

"What Rangers players will attend the Super Bowl when it takes place in Arlington? -- Ampelio M., Garland, Texas"
What kind of fucking dumb question is this?

Man I was just about to paste that same question....
It made my head hurt.
"Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, right, tells his wife, Silda, that you have to pay double for the kind of f*cking Neftali Feliz gave the Yankees at Yankee Stadium in New York, Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2009.

yeah that was ridiculous
he either made that up or threw it in there exclusively so he could make that cheesy joke about ticket prices.

TR should leave the BBWAA and join a...
…third grade remedial reading class. Both groups would get smarter from his move. Well the BBWAA would anyway.
I have no objection to man walking on the moon.

I wouldn't count on that
The BBWAA hasn’t exactly been known as a bastion of intellect in recent years…

Ha
Are there any career opportunities for someone who is 24 years old and an avid Rangers fan? I love everything associated with player development and statistics. I’ll do whatever it takes to get into this franchise.

How do you feel about buying the team?
Seriously, if you are interested in a job in baseball, the best way is to attend the job fair held every year in December at the Winter Meetings. This year it is in Indianapolis.
I went to that job fair when the winter meetings were here in Dallas in 2005. What a waste of time. There’s about 400-500 people just like you fighting over jobs that will pay you about $350 a month for 85 hour work weeks in the minor leagues.
The few MLB jobs that get posted have 10x the number of applicants so unless you’re already a certified badass you have pretty much no shot.
I had a few offers to go work for minor league teams but I wasn’t a fan of extreme poverty because I’d be working a shit job (but hey! it’s in sports!). So I passed and took a corporate job. My buddy that was with me took a minor league job, which lead to a college athletics job which he hates because he has to work a ton of nights and weekends for not a ton of money.
Working in sports = overrated.
